| Description: |
Rossetti's book includes the most recent findings about the health of priests, what most influences their wellness, and how the Church can ensure their continued well-being. His research shows:
- Priests very much like doing what they do, resulting in high job satisfaction.
- More priests are engaging in traditional spiritual practices--including praying the Liturgy of the Hours and spending at least thirty minutes each day in private prayer--than they reported a decade ago.
- Support for celibacy among priests remains high and is rising, with more priests professing to have a positive experience of celibacy, from 75 percent in 2009 to 82 percent in 2021.
- Mental wellness of priests remains high despite some signs of distress and depression, particularly during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Priests report they are disappointed in Church leaders for their failures in handling abuse cases.
Rossetti explains that the most crucial indicators of a priest's psychological and spiritual wellbeing are loneliness, self-esteem, relationship to his bishop, compassion satisfaction, childhood trauma, traditional spirituality, priestly fraternity, sexual conflicts, and his intimacy with God. |
